Through exploring the rich and diverse nature trails at Lamprey River Elementary School, students will intertwine several content areas and weave together their interests, strengths, and passions to create a virtual tour of the trails that give insight into the town they live in. Students in grades 3 and 4 at Lamprey River Elementary School will utilize the content areas of English Language Arts, Mathematics, Science, and Technology to connect with their community and create a virtual tour of our nature trails to be used as an educational tool for the members of our town.
